The comfortable life is killing you..

Depression in the era of infinite possibilities:

Although we are currently experiencing the highest living standards in the history of mankind:

 • Depression rates are constantly rising in the US since the mid-1930s.

 • Approximately 40 million American adults are dealing with anxiety disorder.

 • Over 600,000 children of 5 and under are on some type of psychiatric drug in the US. 



Depression and anxiety

According to the existential psychologist, Rollo May:
 • “Depression is the inability to construct a future.”
 • "Anxiety comes from "not being able to know the world you’re in, not being able to orient yourself in your own existence.”



“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”
                              - Jean-Paul Sartre



Living with purpose and vitality

 • Let go of the idea of how your life is "supposed to be". Change strategy, even it means you have to face the unknown.
 • Embrace your struggles and use them as a fuel for your new life.
 • Stop the autopilot mode and be aware and present in every action you are doing.
 • Be smart about your finances. Also, invest more in experiences and less in material things.
 • Reconnect with nature.


          “Chase after money and security, and your heart will never unclench. Care about people’s approval, and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. This is  the only path to serenity.”
                                            - Lao Tzu

CONSCIOUSNESS ENGINEERING Consciousness Engineering is an operating system for the human mind. Your models of reality are like the hardware: They’re your beliefs about yourself and the world. Your systems for living are like the software. We live with outdated beliefs and habits without even knowing it. When you swap out old, expired models and systems that limit you, you’re elevating your consciousness and opening the path to extraordinary living. "Extraordinar...

YOU ARE VERY MUCH ON TIME

Image
.   𒂏 Obama retired at 55, Trump started at 70 Sydney is 3 hours ahead of Perth,  but that doesn't make Perth slow.  Someone graduated at the age of 22,  but waited 5 years before securing a good job. Someone became a CEO at 25 and died at 50. While another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years. Someone is still single, while someone else got married. Everyone in this world works  based on their tie zone. People around you might seem to be ahead  of you and some might seem to be ahead  But everyone is running their own race, in their own time. Do not envy them and do not mock them. They are in their time zone, and you are in yours. LIFE IS ABOUT WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO ACT. So relax. You're not early. You're not late . You are very much on time.

6 Tips to build better bed time routine

Decompress from your day The brain is preparing for sleep about two hours before our actual bedtime. That waking system has to slowly come down to allow the sleep system to take over.                 Set an alarm an hour to two prior to your expected bedtime to remind you to wind down from the day. Do something you truly enjoy and find relaxing. Don’t wind down with your gadgets If you do decide to catch up on your favorite show, don’t do it on your computer or tablet. Even just a few seconds of exposure from a blue light-emitting device an hour before bed can disrupt the melatonin rhythm, a rhythm that is so critical to helping us fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up feeling refreshed. Eat a light, pre-bedtime snack In our perpetually dieting world, it’s not uncommon to lie in bed hungry, but not wanting to eat in an effort to save calories. However, hunger is stimulating and fragments sleep. Eating a light carbohydrate or protein snack prior to ...
